Pixar's Up House

Could it be? Is it the house that inspired the design for Pixar’s high-flying adventure movie, Up?!

Probably not, but it was neat to see the juxtaposition of the Victorian design in front of a very modern condominium building. Here’s an up close look at the details of the house.

This house is somewhere on India Street in San Diego’s Little Italy district. I was on the way to Filippi’s Pizza Grotto when I tugged on Boyfriend Dave’s shirt and said – LOOK IT’S THE UP HOUSE!! He was just as excited as I was and started snapping away these photographs on my camera. Too cute! That’s a true animator, right there for you.

I was doing some research and found that a reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle asked the film’s producer and director about the house.

“While both filmmakers admitted that there was at least one house in the greater Oakland/Berkeley area that served as inspiration, neither would give me an address.” - wrote Peter Hartlaub
